Ie2€™ve brought this up borfee, but Ie2€™ll never forget attending a George Bush (the first one) event at Brigham Young University (during his campaign) and being hugely disappointed. Here was a man who had been a pilot in WWII, a diplomat to China, the head of the CIA, etc. and etc., and instead of teaching us anything or sharing any personal wisdom he had gained over time, he served us up political twinkies that were calculated to please the local audience. It was a total joke and for some reason the audience was cheering the whole time. It felt like I was at an early Beatles rock concert with a couple of thousand brainless 14-year-old girls (not a good thing, at all).For some reason? He was a Republican in the center of Utah Republicans. He could have told naughty limericks and the audience would have sobbed with blind worship. The way many Utah County Mormon residents treat Republicans in office is as sickening as the way granola crunchers in Oregon treat a Libertarian politician.They probably couldn't even hear what he was saying.
